Prior to the 1980s, most Point of Sale interactions consisted of cash or check exchanges at clunky checkout machines that were limited to a single store’s accounting information. But with the invention of the microprocessor, slowly, cash registers evolved into much more complex machines that allowed Point of Sale transactions to become quicker, more accurate, more connected, and more helpful for companies trying to track their financials.
One of the people who saw the potential of this was Pete Catoe. And in 1989 he decided to start a company that specialized in POS transactions utilizing electronic cash registers. He called this business ECRS, or Electronic Cash Register Services. And today, it’s known as one of the most sustainable employers of the High Country.
Tune in to hear the story of how ECRS came to be built and the important lessons Pete Catoe learned along the way.
